New for Seller Membership Plans: Adjust Commission, Offer Trial & Update Alerts
What is it and why you need it
As you already know, we have brought seller membership plans for your marketplace sellers to create and sell products accordingly.
Previously, you could manually update the seller plan for product creation limits. But now, while updating the plan limit, you can adjust the seller commission rate (fixed/percentage) either for all sellers or for the new ones.
Once you update the plan limit, the commission rate will be automatically applied to the sellers according to your chosen permission.
Also, you can now offer free trial subscription for your seller membership plans. Allowing you to attract more users to sign up on your platform as marketplace sellers without any financial commitment.
And that’s not all! We have also added the "Show Notifications" toggle for marketplace sellers. If you enable it, sellers will receive notifications when you update their plan limit or commission settings. Likewise, you can also disable the toggler if you don’t want them to receive any notifications.
How to get started using it
To update seller commission rate, head over to your EzyCourse dashboard, go to Products & Services -> Membership and then select the Seller user type.
[Note: You need the Marketplace addon to see this feature.]

Now, move to the Membership items tab and here you can view all the plans and their limits at the right side of the screen.

Select any plan for which you haven't updated the commission rate previously. Notice that the commission rate, which is shown here is set based on the default commission rate determined by you from Marketplace → Settings.


You can set the commission based on either a fixed rate or a percentage. Once you update the commission rate, click the Save button to apply the changes you’ve made to the plan.
[Note: It is important to understand that the commission defined here refers to the percentage that you, as the site owner, earn from each sale made by the seller.]


To set free trial subscription for your seller plans, go to the pricing page inside any seller membership plan -> select the Subscription Plan (Standard) and you’ll see the Trial Subscription option.

After enabling it, you can choose to allow cardless access. Then give the number of days you want to allow the free trial access, and create the pricing plan.

Users will see how many days they are getting the free trial for, on the product checkout page. They will also have to give the payment card info (only if you’ve enabled it).

Enabling the seller's “show notifications” is very easy. Simply go to Marketplace -> Settings -> scroll down a little and here you can find the “Show Notifications for plan or commission changes” toggler.

Enable/disable the toggler according to your choice. Once done, click the Save button to confirm.

And this is how the seller gets notified when you make changes to the plan.
